Prayer Warriors Needed

So, I don't ask for much but I have seen the power of prayer work for Lucy, so I thought I would throw out a prayer request for a woman that works with me. She has been having health issues for a while now. A few years back, she actually had a blood clot in her lung. Lately, she has had so many issues and has been hospitalized so many times, without any real answers. The answers she has been given were: Rheumatoid Arthritis, Lupus, Raynaud's Syndrome AND Sjogren's Syndrome. (Did I mention she is only a year older than me?!) All of these are considered autoimmune diseases, which means her body thinks her own cells are foreign and is trying to kill them. Talk about sick! Well, the treatments for these diseases are steroids and immune suppressors which make her even more susceptible to germs/sickness. She got really sick earlier this week and had to go back into the hospital. Today, I was informed that they think she might have Leukemia and are going to draw bone marrow for biospy. So, I was just wondering if you could add this wonderful woman (Tracy), to your prayer list.
Thanks!

About Me

My name is Melissa, and I am a lot of things but the most important thing to know about me is I am a wife and mother. I credit my husband with making me the woman I am today. He showed me that I can stand up for myself and be the outgoing, fun-loving, funny person I want to be. We have been married for 6 years, together for over 10, and what an incredible ride it has been! The ups and downs of marriage are a crazy roller coaster ride but there is no-one else I would rather be next to! And on March 29, 2009, my whole world did a loop-de-loop when we had Kaleb, 7lb 7oz of pure boy! I never understood the undeniable, everlasting love of a parent until I held him that first day. He has tried my patience like only a first child can, but I would die for that kid. A colicky baby, he still doesn't sleep through the night at 2 years old, but we do everything we can to make sure he is a happy, healthy toddler (even though he refuses to eat anything but oranges and chicken fries!). I have at many times felt like that I am on the tail end of a lifelong marathon, just trying to keep up with the pack, and there are times when I feel like I'm out front. Follow along to find out where I am today!
